Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Whaddon
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Whaddon. Most enquiries involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and joints packed with grit and debris, across blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints.

In and around smaller places like Whaddon, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Whaddon: questions and answers
Is Whaddon off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as North Furzton Shopping Centre, by Whaddon?
Yes, sites like North Furzton Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Whaddon. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing.

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a building around Whaddon, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Related advice
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

What else we do in Whaddon
When to call us in Whaddon
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
In a school such as Whaddon CofE First School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
